Simple Food

Summer is synonymous with simple food. Dinners lately have been centered around produce. Green beans sauteed with bacon heaped on a platter with fresh corn on the cob rubbed with butter, grilled slices of baguette drizzled with olive oil and chopped fresh tomatoes tossed with pesto. Fresh cherry tomatoes tossed with angel hair pasta, drizzled with olive oil, and topped with grated Parmesan cheese and cracked black pepper. Breakfast this morning was beautiful. Ripe Turkish figs served alongside a scoop of ricotta cheese that had been sprinkled with cinnamon and drizzled with a delicate honey. Meals do not have be complicated, especially in the summer.
